About Akka Finance Mcp Server
An MCP server for the AKKA Finance DEX aggregator, for agents handling token swaps across EVM chains. It provides quotes and transaction data; swap and approval transactions are unsigned and must be signed and broadcast separately.
Key features
- 01Get swap quotes across DEXes
- 02Compare quotes from DEX pools
- 03Build unsigned swap and approval transactions
- 04Check tokens, chains, and allowances
Use cases
- 01Compare token swap quotes
- 02Prepare swap transactions for signing
- 03Check token spending allowances
- 04Inspect supported tokens and chains
MCP support
The server exposes AKKA Finance quote, token, and transaction-building tools to MCP clients. It returns unsigned transaction data and does not hold private keys or execute transactions.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

How It Works
This MCP server is a thin client that calls the AKKA Finance REST API. It does not hold private keys or execute transactions. All swap/approve tools return unsigned transaction data that the user must sign and broadcast separately.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
